South Chesthill Estate lies on the south side of Lower Glenlyon. Chesthill House is a traditional stone built sporting lodge, comprising 5 twin and 2 single bedrooms and 1 twin and 1 single bedroom with a further bathroom in the staff wing. Adult parties are limited to 12, with the other accommodation available for staff and children.
The principal fishing is on the River Lyon, one of the main River Tay tributaries, for both salmon and brown trout, with 4½ miles of exclusive single and double bank fishing. The lodge fishing usually includes 6 rods fished as three beats of 2 rods (except mid August when only 4 rods are available).
The Lyon has a long season, from April to the end of the season on 15th October. The river has both a spring run and an autumn run of salmon, with grilse in the summer months. In addition there is excellent brown trout fishing on the river, and also on Loch Creag a Mhadaidh, which is stocked with brown trout.
Day tickets for brown trout are available from Mr D Pirie, Keeper’s Cottage, South Chesthill Estate, Glenlyon tel 01887 877233
